The midfield teams went with dicks and the 3 front cars have something a little different and if we are still counting Lotus as top4 them too.

 

[Tempy]

Haha, that Force India is HARDCORE.

At least the Red Bull penis is masked by the paint job.

Mercedes nose possibly best looking. Better than the Ferrari. Still has a bit of a concave curve to it though.

Curious about the Lotus nose...

 

[Lach]

Torro Rosso and Force India are the worst so far....

I see them going for 1st lap contact every race on prupose...

What time does the testing start? Is there any video coverage?

 

[itsgreen]

Red Bull looks the best imo.

 

[Omiee]

disapinted in all of this years cars. they are fucking hideos.

Some of them would have looked amazing if the nose was a bit different.

Red bull should lose the black thingy. It would make it the least awfull looking of them all.

 

[Mastah]

What time does the testing start? Is there any video coverage?

It started few minutes ago.

And are you kidding, video coverage? We in 2014 still don't even have stupid live timing from testing. It's pathetic that sport calling itself "pinnacle" doesn't even offer that.

 

[LicenceToK1ll]

Red Bull nose looks like a knife, i like it and looks fast as well

 

[AcridMeat]

My god:

Hahahahahhahaha. I like the Merc at least.

I found something analogous to this year.

 

[Lach]

 

[Omiee]

the force india car should be banned.

do we have live timing?

last year we had an amazing site that showed live timing.

 

[chadskin]

Red Bull looks the best imo.

Indeed, the RB10 looks fantastic. Compared to the other ones though, a little conservative. We'll have to see which approach wins.

 

[LicenceToK1ll]

I wonder whats up with the mclaren sidepods they are massively bigger than any other mercedes powered car. Seems very conservative

FOM blocked their source for times. That's how much F1 cares about their fans :/

Romain Grosjean ‏@RGrosjean 1m

Watching pictures from Jerez ! Always exciting to discover new cars, new helmet designs ! #f1 #2014

Poor Romain, he can only look at pictures from testing, lol.

 

[Dilly]

Think it was Scarbs who said the finger was the best solution aerodynamically, so no surprise Ferrari has something completely different.

 

[Hackbert]

mh cannot unsee the redeared face on the RBR nose. looks like one of the duck pictures with the dogface - noses on it to me.

the merc looks cool. Just do not really like the petronas colour

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

So Newey confirms that dick-nose is the way to go?

and LMFAO @ FI!! HAHAHAHAHA


It's very interesting. Mecr and Ferrari going on a different direction. And I LOOOOVE that Merc it's actually better looking than last year's car!!

EDIT:

I'd kill for a video when it was unveiled. I'm sure pressies were giggling hehe

 

[LicenceToK1ll]

Think it was Scarbs who said the finger was the best solution aerodynamically, so no surprise Ferrari has something completely different.

I dont know Lotus' solution also looks smart but uncertain it is legal, several teams have protested

 

[Hammer24]

Just do not really like the petronas colour

The color is called "petrol" - and yes, I hate it with a passion!

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Maybe it's the morning effect, but I'm really cracking up on this Force India nose

The caption! LOL

 

[Mastah]

Raikkonen stopped on the outlap. This season will be fun

 

[Dead Man]

Force India should be banned for that. Easily the worst of the lot.

FIA should be banned.

I dont know Lotus' solution also looks smart but uncertain it is legal, several teams have protested

Watch it be technically legal but not what the powers that be want, so the rules will be 'clarified'.

Lol.. perfect start?

Raikkonen stopped on the outlap. This season will be fun

Well fuck, another wasted season. Time to shift focus to the 2015 car.

 

[Deadman]

Wow.

At least it will be interesting to see which style is the best.

 

[Tempy]

I do like all the different noses. I hope the Lotus one proves legal as well as effective.

 

[jey_16]

At least Mercedes went for the same approach as Ferrari...hope not lost yet!

[Adam Scott Aukerman]

Wow.

It's quite possible that a range of designs will be competitive, given how much is in flux this year.

 

[ClassyPenguin]

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Red Bull went with a kind of penose. Ferrari is DOOMED!

 

[LicenceToK1ll]

Red Bull design genius Adrian Newey is addressing the media later this morning. He's already had a brief say on the 2014 technical regs, and it's fair to say he's not best pleased with the aerodynamic rules.

While, in the case of the front wing, that's because of performance implications - "the narrower wing means the endplate is in the worst possible place in front of the wheel" - he's in agreement with the majority of fans over the look of the new noses.

"They are ugly and ungainly," he said. "To me the aesthetics of a Formula 1 car are important.

"The car should look good, and not many owners of these noses could say they really love them."

Newey not pleased with the narrower front wings.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Newey not pleased with the narrower front wings.

But he knows that it's the right path, because he's a fucking genius!! I really hope it's not the best solution and Mercedes and Ferrari compete for all the podiums this year!! That would be EPIC!!!!!

I miss the times when two teams use to dominate the season. Yes, shoot me now.

 

[Jezbollah]

That Force India should be called the "John Holmes"

 

[bobnowhere]

Anyone work out what the green laser coming out from under the T-camera on the Merc is up to? It seems to be pointed at one of the "camera" wings on the nose. Wonder if they are measuring distance change, vibration etc... from the reflection.

 

[Mastah]

Ferrari on low revs sounds mighty, I love it:

[Hammer24]

Word was, that FER engine was the furthest from a dev standpoint. Wonder what happened to RAI car.

It looks FAST!!

Sounds damn great.


Lewis makes it two meters.

And Kimi off the pit limiter:

I love turbos already.


Checo also stopped on the outlap, lol.

 

[Staab]

Expect to see a lot of red flags today, part of the process of learning all this new stuff, really

 

[Lucius86]

That Force India - best dick nose of 2014 confirmed.

 

[Dilly]

No one will finish the GP in Australia.

 

[Lucius86]

No one will finish the GP in Australia.

Alonso may win then.

 

[Zeknurn]

No one will finish the GP in Australia.

Back at base Marussia is secretly working on cooling and they will pick up a surprise win in Australia.

 

[Hammer24]

Alonso may win then.

You think he´ll be able to complete a lap?

 

[Shaneus]

Lewis makes it two meters.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHCCznxOOgA

Yeah, but check out that downforce! For those two meters, it was glued to the ground.
